construction: head - metal mayhem SE resculpted visor waist up - battle field CC waist down Sigma Strike Duke 1/6 shotgun I have had the idea for Rip-it or a hiss tank driver for this head since I originally got the Metal Mayhem several years ago. I would like to make a HISS, however I am stuck on the Treds - the base for the tank would be an AT-TE Hell I have the driver done I might as well follow through right? |

SkyCreeper: SkyCreeper comes from a long line of catburglers, he made it his signature to stage elaborate rooftop roberies and escape using handgliders. He has always had a lasting obsession with DaVinchi artwork and out of respect has never stolen any. His special talen came to the attention of Cobra recruiters during a time when they lacked the services of Xamot and Tomax' enterprising backing. When The Night Creeper and Scorpions where raiding tombs and museums SkyCreeper too to Paris and London and never raised the attention of GIJoe. After some time he was offered a chance to asscend to new heights in the organization. As a member of The Plague he was promissed that he would have free reign of the Night Vulture unit as well as resources to take any mark he made. During the induction mission he however showed pause to the seemingly purposeless killing of civilians and cast doubt on his orders. His hesitation would be his undoing, as Guillotine plunged his sword through his chest and he was tossed out of the plane like garbage. Luck as it where has always been on his side... He was born with a rare condition, Dextrocardia. Just like he was in the mission, his heart just wasn't in the right place otherwise Guillotine's strike would have definately killed him. Coming out of shock in mid-freefall didn't help matters but it was his specialty, always prepared for such things his uniform had a wingsuit built into it. He manage to grab hold of another cast out, Rip-it. Together they where too heavy to glide in gracefully however a truck stop diner sign and an alluminum camper did break their fall instead of their necks. They overtook the responding highway patrol officer that responded and stole his patrol car and looked for a roadside place to hide and heal and figure out what to do next. A chance encounter with another freelancer put him and his partner in touch with a somewhat more than usual disenfranchised Firefly. Firefly made no Cobra promisses of power or glory just two very simple things money and revenge. So he took over the remnants of another Firefly had recruited merged it with his own styles and while he has no fondeness for birds he does enjoy the simple improvments that Raptor had done to the glider suit before his demise.

Construction: head - secret someone has to guess torso - HiTech v1 forearms, hands - stormshadow v1 lower legs - arctic SE chest pouches, waist belt, leg pouches - 3 sigma strike duke belts I figured the pouches on the belts would give function to his pillow padded original look while also funtioning well for a burglar to put stuff, if batman had a cool utility belt , a pair of utility pants are awesome...right? honestly I didn't make the Raptor corelation until I had taken the picture, if I was going to make a sigma Raptor it'd look alot like this as well, just less pockets, also alot of russian border commando going on as well... and I envision SkyCreeper being alot like the French guy in Oceans 12 |

Well. Rip-It sure is worth the wait. Hang on, can't breathe. Okay, the chest pains subsided.... That is amazing. I NEVER imagined my very favorite obscure Cobra would get the Sigma treatment. Now that he has, I'm in geek nirvana. That custom is amazing. Everything essential about 2000 v1 is there in this scale and it is glorious. |

Rip-It is bad ass. Just perfect. I love the grin on Skycreeper and the fact you ditched the yellow. |
